The no coffee rule is interesting. :) They are allowed to open, but can’t make you coffee, but you would have been able to buy a takeaway coffee from an outlet, that may have questionable hygiene standards nearby to the AD! Neil At risk of derailing this thread, this makes a lot of sense to me. I c...

I think the 3861 is a worthy successor to the 1861, but I suspect it will bring with it a price increase that will take the Speedy Pro into the next price class. On the upside, a 2k price increase (just a guess) will boost resale prices of 1861-based models.

Just lovely. I think the aluminum bezel SMP's are the best of the bunch. Mine is a skeleton hands Bond, but the sword hands version is just as fantastic (and more readable at night).

Must be from Amazon, the kings of overpackaging. no pictures, but I ordered 3 small items from them this week in one order. A pack of small lithium batteries, a pack of button cells, and a new phone charging cable. 2 of the 3 items shipped from the same warehouse, and the third item from a different...

I don't think the bronze bracelet is too much, but the dial is. I feel the same way about gold watches with gold dials, and stainless watches with bracelets and silver dials. Too much of a good thing is sometimes just too much. I'd like to see the all bronze with a blue or brown dial.

+2 to -4 SPD is within COSC accuracy. I'd say you've done well, even if it drifts a little further as it settles in.

My sleeves are usually rolled if I have an office day at work. Yes, it shows off the watch (and I do take advantage of the office days to wear the watches I won't wear in the field), but mostly it's because I don't find it comfortable working at the computer all day in long sleeves, so I roll the sl...

Congratulations Lindsey. An absolutely beautiful piece. There are some people that say that a 36mm watch isn't a proper diver. Those people are what I like to call wrong. The LLD and Seamaster are perfect 36mm divers. I can picture Linzi playing when you opened the box. When I opened my Speedy, it s...

I think that rather than removing statues and ignoring history, what is needed is a change to the narrative. We can commemorate historical figures, but at the same time we must be able to place their actions in a modern context. Show both sides of the story as it were. "John Smith noted scientist, e...

The dial is interesting, but i'm undecided if it's in a good way. The movement is stunning!

You took the definition of a field watch to the extreme and ended up in a field! Hopefully the fall wasn't too painful.

Well, I removed the bell from the handlebars with the side of my knee (ouch), but mostly just my pride was wounded. My last couple of rides I kept the shiny side up.

Great review Steve. While the only single-hander I've owned is the cheap and cheerful Luch, I agree that they are the perfect watch for days where "ish" time is good enough, whether it's a beach vacation, or a lazy day around the house.

On a (mostly) dry ride last week I managed to find, and fall into, a decently sized mudhole. Ironically I was trying to navigate around it when I fell in.

Looks great. After buying and wearing my C60 bronze, I am a convert to relief bezels. They definitely add a certain something to divers.

I still own my Mk1 C5A, and my dad owns a gold quartz Mk1 C5. Neither of them are going anywhere. The C3 and C5 will always be among the best designs CW has ever made.
